An integrated miniature projector that can display images on a much larger surface than existing displays is the next giant leap for smart phones and cameras. This is known as embedded projection and uses LEDs as the light source. The greatest challenge so far for lighting technology has been the limited efficiency of the green light emitting diodes. This is because high brightness is essential if the projected image will be seen with ambient light. LEDs that produce green light with acceptable luminance were not available. The new Osram Ostar Projection Cube has now filled this gap.

LAS VEGAS — CHAUVET technology is at the core of a custom-built fixture by Morpheus Lights for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s Wrecking Ball tour. The Morpheus CP7 IP LED Blinder was designed around the tri-color RGB light engine of the COLORado 1-Tri IP. At only 616-watts, the CP7 efficiently replaces traditional nine-lights with color changers that draw close to 6,000 watts.

WASHINGTON, DC – It was a case of perfect harmony when WorldStage successfully delivered a complex projection and audio solution for “Song1,” artist Doug Aitken’s ambitious multimedia piece, which premiered on the cylindrical facade of the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Aitken wanted “Song1” to be an exercise in “liquid architecture,” and the Hirshhorn’s facade seemed to disappear when it was transformed into an urban canvas for fluid images of rippling water, floating boats and cars streaming down liquid-metal highways.
